As spring approaches, the majority of your construction and farm equipment will need to be put to use. Our tips below will assist you in preparing your equipment for the forthcoming construction and farming season. When you need maintenance or repair services for your construction and farm equipment, contact Custom T Repair, with shops in Springfield, AR.

Complete Routine Maintenance

If most of your construction equipment has been idle all winter, spring is the perfect time to ensure it is fully operational. The following maintenance tasks are recommended:

• Replace the oil - Both hydraulic and engine oils should be changed to ensure that they are clean and operational.
• Change filters - Dirty or clogged filters will impair the effectiveness of your equipment, and additional impurities can cause failures.
• Lubricate parts - After not being utilized for an extended period of time, any significant parts should be greased.
• Inspect the color and consistency of the coolant if the engine hasn't been operated in a while. If you notice impurities or rust in the coolant, replace it.
• Clean the interior and exterior of your equipment - If your equipment is crusted on snow or ice, carefully remove it using a brush or air compressor to avoid damaging the paint. Wait for the ice around the transmission or motor to melt before operating any heavy machinery. To safeguard the interior electronics, the cab should also be cleaned and dusted.

Do a Final Inspection

Before operating any heavy equipment, make sure that all essential components are operational. Even inactive equipment can suffer pest-caused leaks or broken wires. We recommend checking the following components:

• Tires
• Brakes
• Battery
• Engine belt
• Seals, clamps, and hoses
• Lights and wipers
• Stickers and decals
